oh, yes, from what you're telling, I'd try to change the winnt, but I dont
really have done this before, so try around ;-)

D,
check mount(8) man page, look for vfat. In particular, this piece here
might be it:
shortname=[lower|win95|winnt|mixed]
Defines the behaviour for creation and display of
filenames
which fit into 8.3 characters. If a long name for a file
exists,
it will always be preferred display. There are four modes:
lower Force the short name to lower case upon display;
store a
long name when the short name is not all upper case.
win95 Force the short name to upper case upon display;
store a
long name when the short name is not all upper case.
winnt Display the shortname as is; store a long name when
the
short name is not all lower case or all upper case.
mixed Display the short name as is; store a long name when
the
short name is not all upper case.
The default is "lower".
cheers,
